Those who are defending Roman Polanski either don’t have a fucking clue about the case or make me question their concept of morals and ethics. I doubt very much that if a person who defended Roman Polanski had this happen to someone they loved they would NEVER be saying such things.
The victim has NEVER said it was consensual. Never, not once, nada. So when a 40 something man drugs and then forces a 13 yr old girl to have sex while she says no and begs him to stop, where the evidence isn’t just what she says but also physical proof and witness testimony by Angelica Houston, is not rape, I would like to know what is.
Roman Polansky is damn lucky because he has a bunch of people saying that because he is talented it is okay that he raped a 13 yr old girl. But most importantly, he is damn lucky that I wasn’t that girl’s mother, because I guarantee that his currently 30 something old wife (who is almost the same age as the victim) would never have had the chance to meet him. Because I would have cut off his little Polansky and would have done to him what he did to that little girl. And no, I am not joking. I know what I am capable of, especially if someone hurt my baby boy. I know I would snap if some jackass not only did such a horrendous act to my baby, but then proceed to say he asked for it and that he was lying. Yeah, he would be lucky if that was all I did.
This is an amazing explanation of the biggest points I have against people arguing that this was somehow not rape.
I couldn’t agree more with this..
